Should you replace it?
Replacing a bath generally involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and usually one day, with the bath ready the next day. Prices start from £350. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Bath re-enamelling in Kirkhill without replacing anything
Re-enamelling works especially well on cast iron and steel, and acrylic baths can be resurfaced too. You end up with a smooth, glossy surface. Whether it’s a period or roll-top bath worth keeping and several chips and rust patches, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Kirkhill
How much does bath re-enamelling cost in Kirkhill?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IV5 postcode.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No, it stays where it is. Everything is done in your bathroom, with the room masked and ventilated.
Do you cover the whole of Highland?
All of Highland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will there be fumes?
There is some smell while the coating is applied, which is why we ventilate the bathroom. It fades as the coating cures.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Roll-top and period baths
Freestanding roll-tops can be done inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Once a chip exposes it, rust follows quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
What affects the price in Kirkhill
Resurfacing from £350. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole bath
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take most of the day. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- We repair chips, rust spots and pitting.
- We key the bath and apply a bonding primer.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
Do you need bath re-enamelling in Kirkhill?
By the time a bath is a few decades old, it may have a mix of issues: dull areas, chips, rust and staining. Resurfacing sorts them out together.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An outdated colour you’d like to change
- Lots of chips and rust spots
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- How your room will be protected
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to care for the finish
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A bath split right through the body
- Acrylic that moves when you stand in it
- Problems we can’t see until an old finish comes off
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Victorian roll-tops
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Pressed steel baths
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Repair dripping taps early
- Respect the curing time we give you
- Don’t leave a chip unrepaired
Rinse the bath and wipe it over after use, particularly where water is hard, so limescale cannot build up.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so it’s better to have it stripped and redone.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
